From 11 a.m. on 15 Nov to 11 a.m. on 16 Nov, Biharsharif will enforce a 24‑hour traffic scheme, closing small‑vehicle lanes to ghats and setting up barriers at 14 points with parking on five fields.
The Biharsharif municipal authorities have announced a dedicated 24‑hour traffic management plan for the upcoming Chhath Puja celebrations. The scheme will be active from 11 a.m. on 15 November until 11 a.m. on 16 November, covering the entire night of the festival.
During this period, all routes leading to the Chhath ghats will prohibit the movement of small vehicles such as two‑wheelers and light four‑wheelers to ensure the safety of pilgrims. Fourteen strategic points across the city will have temporary barriers installed, and parking facilities will be created on five designated open grounds to accommodate private cars and larger vehicles.
City officials expect the measures to ease congestion, reduce the risk of accidents, and allow devotees to reach the ghats without delay. Police and traffic police personnel will be deployed at the barrier sites to monitor compliance and guide traffic flow throughout the 24‑hour window.
